TRAVEL WITH LP GAS
It is illegal for vehicles equipped with LP
tanks to travel on certain roadways or through
certain tunnels in the U.S. To avoid inconve-
nience, check state regulations concerning flam-
mable gas transportation.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
The pressure regulator is protected from the
elements by a plastic cover which should be left
in place at all times. Only your dealer or a quali-
fied LP gas service should remove the regulator
cover for adjustments.
WARNING
Visually inspect the pressure regula-
tor vent periodically for blockage by
accumulated debris or insect nests,
etc.
Vent obstruction could result in
excessive pressure which could cause
a fire or explosion.
If any obstruction is apparent, have
the regulator serviced by your dealer
or a qualified LP gas service center.
Regulator freeze-ups are caused by the pres-
ence of moisture in fuel. This moisture will pass
through the cylinder valve and into the regulator
where it can freeze. Fuel producers, tank and
bottle manufacturers and LP gas dealers take
every precaution to reduce moisture, but some-
times only a fraction of an ounce entering the
tank can cause problems. To help avoid the
possibility of freeze-up, always keep tank control
valve is closed when not in use, even when tank
is empty, to prevent moisture from collecting on
the inside.
If regulator freeze-up should occur, you may
attempt to thaw the regulator using a light bulb.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME OR HEAT
LAMP.
If moisture begins to cause problems, have
your LP gas dealer inject a small amount of dry
methyl alcohol in your tank (approximately one
ounce to 20 pounds or one pint to 100 gallons) to
help guard against regulator freeze-ups.
